It is time to leave your reflective thoughts on Teaching Listening Skills Module.
Reflect on what has been covered and agree or disagree with the information presented in this Module.
Look back through the material and/or your notes and summarise and reflect further on…
- how you found the Module and the way you have felt;
- the skills you have seen and practised in this Module.
You do not need to write an essay, just some thoughts on what you have learned. You can use bullet points.
Remember to read at least two other postings and post a response to one of them.
While going through, I felt rather challenged and sometimes puzzled. Some of the exercises were not as easy as they initially seemed to be. The teacher’scommentaries are very well done.
Thanks for sharing ;-)!
I feel more or less the same … on the whole, I found it interesting and challenging, that’s for sure!I agree with you. This module turned out more challenging than the Reading Skills. The quiz tasks were rather tricky. I had to apply all my attention to complete them.
Refreshing my understanding of the best structure for teaching receptive skills has been very helpful. The videos clips are very useful – the perfect length to demonstrate the points made. I felt challenged by the quizzes at the end of various sections, but they reinforced the concepts and points made. I felt the concept of listening for specific detail might have been clearer.
I absolutely agree with you. This module also made me think carefully about my answers to quiz questions. I revisited some lessons to mak sure I understand everything.
I agree with you. It really was an eye-opener.
This module was quite challenging for me. I had to take time and think over my answers to the exercises and quizes.
I like the examples of different kinds of activities a teacher can use at different stages of a listening lesson.I agree, in spite of the similarities with the reading lessons, I found this module took a lot more thought and time to ensure a thorough understanding. I has made me think about the value of teaching listening skills in all the subjects that I teach.
This module seems more challenging than previous modules. I like the fact that it has same sub skills with Reading skill. The exercises and quizzes were quite challenging as well. I had to go back to the lessons before I could answer them.
I remember you mentioning how neglected listening skills are in the classroom. I do hope this module helped you get a better understanding of the importance of teaching listening and how listening is immediately related to speaking. To help our students become effective communicators, we need to make an explicit connection between listening and speaking through integrating skills in our daily teaching practice.
That’s very true, the quizzes were quite tricky and challenging.
Going through the module lessons were quite easy due to its similarities with the reading lesson, however the quizzes were quite tricky. Knowing the similarities and differences between the reading and listening skill was quite helpful.
The lessons are mainly based on practice which make the comprehension quite easy. I agree with you.
This module had many tasks to do and it was as practical as the reading module and this was helpful while i was learning. The main information is that the same stages in reading lesson are used in listening lesson; students do not need to understand every single words and i need to draw their attention on what they should do exactly and also indicate clearly when i am about to press “Play”.
I like this module because it was full of challenges.
The exercises are tricky,
The quiz is another hell but all things been equal it was practical and helpful.I really enjoyed this module. The module ideas were unique and I enjoyed seeing the practical lessons. The entire module was engaging. However, I wish I could have more ideas on how to teach listening for a one-on-one class online class. These techniques don’t seem applicable to an online lesson with only 1 person. But, I learnt a lot.
I really enjoyed this module. It definitely challenged me a little more and I learnt a lot from it. I like the use of cognitive psychology in this module (top-down, bottom-up processes) and how it’s used to enhance learning!
– interesting, clear, straight-to-the-point, involving;
– sometimes not as easy as it may have seemed;
– what “learnt”: some new techniques, the importance of mixing up “top-down” approach+”bottom-up” approach, the importance of pre-teaching and follow-up corner;
– plenty of food for thoughtI really like to way of presenting your reply! Plenty of food for thinking over!
This module was another challenging for me. I’ve learned some new techniques. Video lessons were very helpfull!
